Swedish company Minesto has developed a marine technology that generates electricity⚡ ️from low-flow tidal streams and ocean currents.
How? With a winged turbine that is attached to a seabed foundation via a tether. The patented principle is actually similar to a kite flying in the wind.🪁 Some seriously brainy stuff — and sustainable too!♻️
Minesto’s pioneering installations are carried out in the Vestmannasund strait in the Faroe Islands – the company’s first major client.
In 2020, Minesto reached the milestone of delivering electricity to the Faroe Islands’ power grid from its tidal kite system.👏
Video copy for translation Could energy from oceans contribute to a greener future?
Yes, says Swedish company Minesto.
Their idea?
Harvesting (renewable) energy from ocean currents and tidal streams – via a turbine with wings.
It’s a bit like kite flying, only under water.
The generated electricity is transferred onshore via seabed cable.
Awsome stuff!
